Well, I haven't received any suggestions on outfits to turn into cheapskate versions, so I've decided to make one from one I personally like. It's a super cute outfit, very trendy: colored skinny jeans, bold statement jewelry, loose swing tank.
Here is the original Polyvore version:
You can view this outfit on Polyvore here.
Total cost of this outfit: $1081!!!!!!!
Here is my cheapened version:

Total cost of this outfit: $173!!!!!!!!!!
This is less than one-fifth of the price of the original! Still cute? Yes! Very similar? Yes! The most expensive element of this version is the jeggings from Hollister at $50!
Now, to be honest, if I were creating an outfit containing some of these elements from scratch, I would swap out a few things for an additional pop of color. Mostly accessories.
I'd likely use this bag. Don't ask me why, but I couldn't seem to get a pic to upload for it.
Necklace:
Tank:
Even with these five substitutions, the total cost of my version of the outfit would be: $230!!!
So, that concludes another round of Cheapskate Challenge! I need suggestions for new outfits to re-create, so please leave links in the comments!
Til Later!
